Hello,

I have right now on a ML 63 10J*20 ET46 with 295/40 R20

Can I intall Brabus VI 10J*22 ET40 with 305/30 R22 ? Will the tire rub somewhere?

Best Regards and THANKS !!!

Ruben.

 

Just my opinion - but I am not completely inexperienced in doing so - puting 30's on an ML that you're actually planning on driving more than occasionally is just plain nuts. Just plain nuts.

 

It will only do highway and sometime city.

Best Regards.

 

You are supposed to use a 295./35-22 not a 30, your crazy if you do. The Brabus Car uses a 35

 

Are you sure about that????

Best Regards.

 

Can You Please Get A Sound Bite From That Exhaust System!!!!

 

Im Positivi. I work at a Custom Wheel and Tire Shop

 

Your tire sidewall height will drop from 4.7 inches to 3.5 inches ( same as on a Porsche 997 with 19 " wheel option ! ) , supporting a 5000 lb plus 500 hp vehicle and add in weight of additional 5 passengers and luggage . Wouldn't want to be riding in this rig a 115 degree day at 100 mph going to Vegas in the summer !

 

This is the size that Brabus suggest me: 285/30 ZR 22-101W

Originals are: 295/45 R19 with 29.5 in of diameter

295/30 R22 have 29.0 in of diameter; this is 1.6% too fast.
295/35 R22 have 30.1 in of diameter; this is 2.3% too slow.

 

Don't focus just on overall tire diameter - look at the sidewall height from a personal safety standpoint ( and damage to wheel from even a minor pothole ) . Otherwise you could theoretically fit a 26 inch wheel with 1.7 inches of sidewall , essentially just tread , lol !

 

Then fitting a 295/35 R22 will be better???

Best Regards.

 

well at least you have 4.1 " of sidewall ( oem is 4.7" ). Tire sidewall acts as a " spring ", too. Too short a sidewall will increase ride harshness on such a heavy truck- you don't want look good passing strangers and feel like you are riding a wheel barrel !

 

When it comes to Wheel and Tire Pakages, Brabus Has Always been a little Conservative With Width. 295,35,22 Would and will be the best way to go.

I personally will probably do a 24 on mine With a 295,35,24

By the way Make sure you get three piece wheels for it, Other wise the heavy one piecers are gonna slow this beast down.

Good Luck

 

Brabus for this rims is mounting 285/30 R22.

Best Regards,

Ruben.
